Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeNumerous showers and thunderstorms developed across the south central Arizona deserts during the afternoon hours on the 14th, and they continued into the evening. Due to the very moist and unstable nature of the atmosphere, the storms produced locally heavy rainfall which led to episodes of flash flooding or flooding. Radar and rain gages indicated that rainfall rates exceeded 3 inches per hour at times. A few of the storms produced wet microbursts with damaging wind in excess of 60 mph. Much of the heavy rain and flash flooding affected the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, especially the southeastern portions.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeNumerous showers and thunderstorms developed across the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, especially the southeastern valley communities, during the afternoon hours on July 14th. Due to the very moist and unstable nature of the atmosphere, the storms generated locally heavy rainfall which led to widespread street flooding. According to a trained weather spotter 2 miles southwest of Gilbert, 1.1 inches of rain fell between 330 pm and 4 pm. Several additional weather spotters in the southeast valley, including communities such as Gilbert, Chandler and Seville, reported similar amounts of rainfall between 330 pm and 5 pm. Commonly, the reports indicated that around one inch of rain fell within a 30 minute period. For example, at 442 pm a trained spotter 2 miles west of Apache Junction reported 0.93 inches of rain measured in the past half-hour.
